WEEKLY EARLY RELEASE - HIGH SCHOOL ONLY
As part of our trimester schedule, we have built in Weekly Collaborative Time for our staff. The purpose of this time is to focus on instruction and student data, with the goal to immediately impact student learning in the classroom. If you are interested in the research supporting the effect of consistent collaboration on student learning, here is an excellent article, "The Missing Link in School Reform."

The impact for students is that on Wednesdays, they will have early release at 2:34 pm. Buses will run at the normal time, after regular 3:25 release, and if a student must stay for transportation or after school activities, there will be a place for them to study or pursue other activities. (A menu of choices will be available to students shortly after school starts.)

These Early Release days will be on the following Wednesday's this school year:

Sept. 12th and 26th

Oct. 3th, 10th, 17th and 31st

Nov. 7th, 14th, and 28th

Dec. 5th and 19th

Jan. 9th, 23rd, and 30th

Feb. 6th and 13th

Mar. 6th, 13th and 20th

Apr. 3rd, 10th, and 24th

May 1st, 8th, 22nd, and 29th

If you are uncomfortable with your student having weekly early release, please complete this brief Early Release Restriction Form, and we will make sure you student has required attendance during this time, and report to you if they are absent.
